Yeah they definitely have some time and money in that rig.

I got the skid plates with my SSV and it makes me feel really cool. That being said I also have driven over so much shit that I'm sure they've saved my ass a bunch of times.
And yeah, I don't want running boards, I want some badass sliders. Not that I will do any real off-roading but it'll look cool. Although I do run into things a lot (drive-by-rails, my buddy calls it).
These are the sliders I love the most:

C4 Fabrication. They look awesome. I could get white powder coated top to match my "base model" theme (ha)
What exactly is the difference? Frame mount?

That rear bumper is SICK!!!!
I like the sides, but not really the "plate cabinet". I can dig the spare tire rack, if mine was 4x4 and I had bigger wheels than what I have currently.
Soon, in next 7-10 days I am getting my Ranch Hand front grill guard put on. I got it color matched to the "adobe/tan"....it had to be redone 2x cuz there are apparently 2 different color codes that Ford did for the accents for the K/R and Lariats for a couple of over-lapping year models.
Anyways, I got the guard last April 2017 at a swap meet for $130 and bought the install brackets new from RH for $65. My Uncle-in-law has a shop and painted it for a trade on some old tires I had. I am looking forward to having my less-than-coordianted-and-unlucky wife be driving this while transporting the new twins.
Pics to follow.

I ran into the color issue on mine too. I found my RH grille guard already painted on Craigslist, got it for $300 (brackets included) and I think the guy I bought it from said it came off of his 2012. It was Arizona Beige. The two tone on my 2008 EB is the Pueblo Gold that they used that model year. Not sure when they switched the two tone color over but two colors matched up pretty well considering they are not exactly the same. I just need to remember not to use my Pueblo Gold touch up paint on the grille guard...

Hello Guys, I'm a newbie here to the Expo world. I picked up this 14 EL last summer and was not happy when the power running boards almost touched the grass when deployed. I chose a 1.5" (this is mainly the wife's daily family hauler) spacer lift front and rear for now and went with 285-55 Toyo AT2's on the stock 20" wheels. I would like to upgrade to the Bilstein 5100 F-150 option I see some guys are talking about in the future.

Here is mine:
I'm considering those exact wheels in 20". What offset are yours?
I have 305/55/20 Toyo A/T2's on my F150, and really should have put them on my wife's Expedition. Your 285's look great too!
I went with Duratrac's in 275/60/20 and they're just too skinny for my taste. Great tire though if anyone is curious!
I believe I bought the 18x10 20mm.
Love em so far. Nice ride, fills wheel well out just enough, and no rubbing or trimming

Thank you very much, thats the look I was going for. Fit-in in the mall parking lot but still be capable of traversing unplowed snow covered roads out where we live. Oh yes it is 4wd.
On another note, can anyone explain how I get my verhicle info as a signiture in the faded grey at the bottom of my post? Thanks!

Here is a video of the EL at Uwharrie:
Won't be going Jeep crazy off road but just want to get off pavement every so often.
What wheels are those you have on your Expedition Tsingson? Ive seen those before on a expo and always throught they looked good.

Very nice truck... How's you level it? What size lifts did you use in front and back? Mine's similar but white with a black grille. Took off the running boards and now I fit under the thing.
Not sure who your asking but mine is a Readylift 3/2 spacer kit
